Fashion-Forward Drops: Global Debut of Four Vibrant New Colourways of Ohana Full-Bloom and Surippa Ohana

Ohana Hatake is unveiling exclusive product drops at Pacific Place, featuring two signature styles in four new shades — part of twelve colourways rolling out across two weeks.

Headlining the lineup is the Ohana Full Bloom collection — a series of eight colourways in bold, floral-inspired slides featuring Murakami's iconic motifs. Each pair is crafted for both comfort and statement-making, showcasing sculptural flower embellishments, vivid palettes, and distinctive design language true to Murakami's superflat universe. Leading this seasonal bloom are two debut colourways — Buttercup and Lime Zest — offering a fresh take on wearable art with their bright and joyful energy for the summer.

Rounding out the collection is the Surippa Ohana style, available in four expressive colourways. The Sakura and Cherry Blossom editions both nod to Murakami's recurring floral motifs, including the pop-up's iconic installation centrepiece. Joining them are two bold new hues, Deep Forest and Sweet Grape — rich, nature-inspired tones that add fresh dimension to this sculptural silhouette.

This high-street-meets-art launch is set to resonate with today's style-conscious tastemakers, offering wearable art infused with the joyful irreverence of Murakami's visual world.
